Now see--those dogs are bred to be fluffy and white to blend in with the sheep flock. But what happens when your sheep are black and polka-dotted? Why, we can see the dogs better! And that's just fine with me! Love 'em! Though I do miss my Lucky Buddy Bear.

Do you remember the Saturday morning cartoon with the big old sheep dog guarding the herd (flock?) from the wolf. I think one was named Ralph and the other Fred. The cartoon would start with them clocking in and exchanging greetings "Morning Ralph". "Morning Fred." as they walked out to the field. Then they'd carry out their appointed roles for the day. Wolf trying to steal the sheep by various means, always being foiled by the dog.

The thing is, the sheep dog had this thatch of hair over his eyes so you assumed he couldn't see the wolf. But of course he could and always came to the rescue at the last minute.

Your puppies remind me of the cartoon because there are no eyes visible, but I bet they know exactly what's going on.

And um, I think I'm older than you, so no, you probably don't remember the cartoon.

January 2013 update: I know word verification is a big pain, but it's the only way I can stop the ridiculous number of anonymous spam comments I get every day. I don't want to require commenters to be registered Blogger or Open ID users because I know many of you aren't. Thanks so much for your understanding!
